Hi Jill! Greetings from Sandra in France- I was in your Likeminded Threads group- So glad to find that you've started a blog too, and that you are giving classes. Lookking forward to reading your blog and seeing more of your work

Another Jill here. Great work! It reminds me of an Eastern bazaar with hundreds of saris stacked seductively at bargain prices. I used to do a lot of fabric and bead work, art quilts and such, but a business and a newfound passion in photography has supplanted it for now. You made me want to delve into my stash of silks.

Love the textile art, love the colours and richness and the way it 'communicates' to me. I also like the cat :-)As well as sewing and too many craft hobbies to mention, I am also interested in paper crafts and the turquoise paper I just homed in on, it's gorgeous.
